Geertruy Aertse Van Pelt

Notes:

He took an Oath of Allegiance in 1687

The Van Pelt Manor House was built in the town of New Utrecht around the 1670s, in the Original King's Highway Section, Brooklyn, New York. The house was used by American soldiers, including George Washington, during the Revolutionary War. The house was sold to the city and made a historic landmark in the first half of the twentieth century. It was torn down following a fire in 1952.

Aert married Nelltje Jansen Van Tuyl on 10 Sep 1686. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

One page of the genealogy from Marcella Thomas has Nelltje as: baptized Nov. 16, 1664, died about 1726, married Oct. 3, 1686 to Aert Teuniz van Pelt, and had a son Jan born on Dec. 2, 1688.



Another page gives their marriage date as Sept 10, 1686 and their son Jan born on Dec 25, 1696.

Notes:

Arrived on the "Rose Tree", and settled in New Utrecht, Long Island.

Van Pelt: The Lane family (original name Laenen) were known under the names of Laenen, van der Laen, de la Lanen, etc. The imigrants put the "van Peelt" (or van Pelt) after Laenen, as a rule, by which it is to be understood that, while their
real surname was "Laenen", they were also "from the Peel," expressed in Dutch by the words "van Peelt." The Peel is a tract of country in the nature of a morass, located both in the southern part of Holland and the Northern part of Belgium. In
Belgium "the Peel" is in the province of Limburg. Directly contiguousto that province is the province (we should say county) of Leige, whose capital is the large and prosperouscity of Liege. The suppposition is that Teunis Jansen Laenen van
Pelt and his brother were Walloons and not Hollanders, which seems to be well founded. Walloon is a semi-French language, as the Walloons were a semi- French and semi-Teutonic stock. The Walloons have always remained a separate and distinct
people in what is now the northern and eastern portion of modern Belgium and constitute about one-fourth of the population of that country.

Teunis married Grietje Jans. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Arrived in Bedford Long Island, in "De Bonte Koe" (The Spotted Cow) Apr. 16, 1663



Marcella Thomas's genealogy states that he married second, Teunis Janse Lanen Van Pelt in 1696, but that would have been after his death, so one of the dates is wrong.

Jan married Gertruyt Jans van Lent (or van Pelt) about 1660 in Holland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jan Otto is noted to be his youngest son in Marcella Thomas's genealogy.



She cited the "Van Tuyl Genealogy" as her source.



Van Tuyl: This family ( Van Tuyl van Serooskerken) comes from Gelderland and takes the name from the noble manor of Tuyl in the district of Tiel.



In one reference called "Baron", but not likely.

Otto married Neeltje. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
